I know a song leader who keeps his pitch pipe in a little round leather holster on his belt. When I led songs more frequently I used to keep one of mine (I have two; as noted earlier, a backup can be mighty handy) in my church mailbox, which I found very convenient.

For those who don't mind the thought of a used pitch pipe, Master Keys can be had on Ebay for about $10.

I've seen the inside of a well-used pitch pipe, I'd stick with new. (But I can be more sensitive to the thought of germs than some.)

May I kindly suggest that if you would blow into the pitch pipe rather than suck on it then what's inside shouldn't matter too much? ;)

But imagine what will happen when I put the whole pitchpipe in my mouth, with only several holes exposed, to make funny noises to amuse my nephews.

Looking at the title of this thread...I didn't know that different views on pitch pipes was something anyone had to live with.

Wife: to share or not to share? Sounds too much like greeting on the lips. :?
